Customer Review: Amazing

This is a mindblowing game, well games. Yes theres bloodshed but if you play any other game like this (eg. Age of Empires) I'll guarantee you you'll love this

Travel through milleniums, from 5000BC to AD5000, theres something here if you like the prehistoric or the futureistic, even the WWs are included!

Customer Review: More like this please!

Wow, wow, wow and wow. These are the only words I was capcable of saying after starting to play this at 11.00am and finsing playing at 3.am abd still wanting more! The bots are fantastic to watch (even if some of them look like rejects from a porn film!) and move with uncanny realism. Sound is fantastic and action is mindblowing for a RTS.

A great introduction game for someone new to RTS games and even better for old hands like myself.

Go out and buy this game!

Customer Review: Barbie Horse Adventure - very good when it will run
My daughter has enjoyed this - lots of good activities. However, we usually have trouble getting it to run (on Windows XP) and have to start it up on about 6 or so occasions before it actually works. The software company suggested it was a firewall interfering with it, but I'm not so sure.
Customer Review: Well done Barbie!
What a saviour for all those rainy miserable winter days. My daughter, aged 6 has used this CD-ROM since she was 5, and has spent ages on it. The adventure trail are excellent, and she loves changing the horse colour and Barbie's clothes. All good fun, with great graphics and sound.

Customer Review: Made Up

I bought this for my 5 year old daughter's birthday, that night I had to fight to get her to go to bed as she wanted to keep playing. The following morning the 1st thing she asked to do was go back on the computer to play more Barbie. This is an addictive and enthralling game for little girls. It has a nice intuitive interface and took her 5 minutes to work out how to play with it. I am a 40 year old man and I find it fun. The best childrens software I've ever bought.

Customer Review: Terrific and long-lasting fun.

One of no less than nine Barbie-branded CD-ROMs in the series, Beauty Boutique has perhaps the greatest longevity in terms of holding the interest of little girls, by virtue of being creative in nature rather than being principally a collection of themed puzzles, however wonderfully rendered. Production values are superbly high in the whole series.

There’s some outstanding animation, especially in the wardrobe area, with the chosen garments applied to the animated character.
To give your daughter extra satisfaction, the finale of each makeover is a mock ‘video’, showing before and after looks in each area, along with an animated cut-scene of the appropriate event, with the client fully made-over.

Playing around with different looks, clothes and accessories has been a never-ending source of fun for girls for centuries. The sheer number of different combinations in Barbie Beauty Boutique mean that this CD-Rom should last almost as long.

BestSeller Series: Ground Control 2 (PC CD)
Customer Review: Best RTS Game ever !

So why do I think that this Game rocks ?



So lets get started :



The Graphics :

have been the very best , when it came out . Even today , when i play this game on my really new and strong XPS Computer i am impressed by the level of Detail , the big environments , the ability to zoom so close that you can see every Detail on the Soldiers .

Cars , Signs everything you would expect from a City at War ; you can look into the destroyed buildings and see your Soldiers there .

Everything can be seen in the Water : Sky , Troops , Grass everything !

The level of Detail is amazing !



The Sound : Crystal Clear and superb effects make you feel as if you are

right in the middle of the Battlefield !



Gameplay : Challenging and much more interesting than the most 08/15 RTS

You do not build or construct ! You do not even collect

resources ! You have a kind of Budget , which you get over

time , and when you kill enemys .

Your Income gets slower , as you have more Troops on the

Battlefield ! So no chance to Massproduce and Overrun the

Enemy !

With this Income you buy your Troops ... BUT :

You need at least one Insertion-Point where your Troopcarrier can land !

If you loose all of these and cant free one before you run out of Troops :

Game Over ! But Troops are not the only thing that you can use your income on; You can also Upgrade your Carrier in many ways :

More Room for Troops , more Speed , better Armor or Weapons ( Yes , it is not invincible and you can use it for Recon or even Attacking , as long as the Fuel or the Armor lasts ! )



You can play 2 completly different Races :

Humans and Virons !

Especially the Virons are very interesting because their Troops can merge to form different and stronger Units !

The Humans have the more RTS typical approach , but are still very interesting !



Conclusion : If you are a RTS Fan you just HAVE to Get this GEM !

Even if you are only slightly interested in RTS Games :

Get It ! Give it a Try ! I promise , you wont regret it !



Score : Graphic : 10 of 10

Sound : 9 of 10

Da Vinci Code Decoded: The Truth Behind the New York Times #1 Bestseller
List Price: �6.99
Used Price: �0.01
Customer Review: Great Book must read for an introduction to this topic!
This is a great book, it is very useful and helpful and while it does not discuss things at great length and does not offer a lot of proof for its ideas it is a very good basis for further reading. If you've read the Da Vinci code and want to start unravelling the ideas it presents then this is a very good place to start, it even provides a great further reading list when you want to expand your reading on this subject (and after this you will).
Customer Review: No truth to be found
This incredibly rotten book, in addition to sensationally bad writing, offers absolutely nothing in the way of shedding new light to the Da Vinci code. The author brings no footnotes, no sources to the table. His research can't have taken many hours, and he just blabbers on based solely on his own ideas, with no references. Do not buy it.
